When he got close enough to hear what the group of people was saying, he realized that they were reciting poetry. He listened closely and heard a familiar voice: Mr. Desmond.

Peter, who was now reassured, ran toward Mr. Desmond. Mr. Desmond was tremendously surprised to see Peter. Peter recognized a few face, but some were new to him. Peter had the best of luck. The acting group was preparing for Marlow’s Edward the second, a play that contains weapons. The acting group then had a brilliant idea.
